He was crying..

I did this once to a friend's MP3 player. I had a format error. Well, going to menu and formatting it made it reusable...wonder why didn't he think of this

EDIT: NVM, I don't think the filesystem is the same

absolutely

or you can go into the ipods directory, and enable viewing if hidden files (view > options > view > show hidden files) and go into trashes, because thats where it should be.

 

[boardordi3]

i dont have a trashes folder, but i downloaded that pc inspector software, and right now, its "finding lost data" it kept crashing when i tried to do "find deleted files" but its found about 755 files and its not even half way done, it still has another hour or so

 

[MooseMan1]

are the files ur finding the ones u deleted? or do u not know yet?

 

[boardordi3]

i dont know yet, but i used a tool called recover my files (it makes you pay to actually save ur files, but it shows u the ones it finds, and it found all of them, which makes me relieved that at least their still there

I have never heard of recovery software for iPods. My friend once set his iPod up as a removable drive, and wanted to wipe all the music off it, so he formatted it, right click> format - he lost all the system files + settings - and had a useless ipod.

Well yeah if you format it you won't get it back....lol

I once did this with a memory card that someone accidentally deleted some pics from, I have a memory card reader and set the program to detect the files on the memory card reader, and wham! there they were, all the pics. I was the hero of the day.

It would be very strange if he recovered some home movie an apple employee made :/

The hard drive on the Ipod probably still uses the FAT32 system. In this case, its entirely plausible that most if not all of the data with a good enough program could be found.
